Pioughed Through the Crowd

CHICAGO, December 22.-An incoming
Baltimore and Ohio train plowed at full
speed through the crowd boarding the I'LL.
nois suburban train at Van Buren station
last evening, Fully 200 people were
thIoDgipg the tracks at the time, and with
out q whistle or note of warning, the train
was upon them. In an instant Miss Lot.
tie Launderville was thrown through the
air. q distance of fifteen or twenty feet
and fatally injured. Immediately after
the accident the Baltimore and Ohio train
backed up, and had barely stopped when
the cab was b oarded by an infuristed
crowd of persons who had narrowly es-
capped death. The engineer was roughly
seized, and cries of "lynch him, kill him, y
were shouted from hundreds of throat
Just in time to prevent the crowd frou
executing its threats, two Central detsii
officers arrived and rescusd the cowerin;.
man from the throng OF avengers. The
engineer was quickly spirited away, and
his name could not be learned. Thers
seems to be no excuse for the accident
The Baltimore and Ohio train was going 81
full speed, when il should be at q stand
still. There was no sound of bell or whistle
to warn the crowd Of home-goers OF APP
roschiDg danger.

Private Secretary Lamont reached Jersey
City at $3.50 p. m, twenty minutes behind

GLADsToNE's JOURNEY.
Kentish Liberals Present Him With an
Address While at Dover.

Kentish Liberals Present Him With an
Address While at Dover.
LONDON, December 27.-Mr. Gladstone
arrived at Dover to day on his way to the
continent. A small crowd assembled at
the depot. Mr.. Gladstone was greeted with
boots. A number OF roughs outside the
depot threw snow-balls at him, none of
which, however, struck him. A delegation
of Kentish Liberals waited upon him at
the town hall and presented him with an
address.
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to the address
presented to him at Dover by the Liberal
delegates, referred to the uncertain charac-
ter OF Lord Salisbury's declaration in refer
ence to fair trade, and said they indicated,
as far assthe majority in Parliament is
concerned, that free tfade lie insecure. He
relied upon the masses Of the people to op-
pose return to protection. The coming
session did not promise well for the coun-
try, II il were true that the great meas
ure OF the session-a local government
bill-would not be introduced until April,
the government would not inflict an un.
disguised mockery on the country. The
last was dark session, but this would be
darker unless something was done to alle-
viate the situation in Ireland.
The darkest blot upon Parliament was
the act now In operation effecting the
civil rights OF the Irish. The Liberals were
charged with interfering with the admin
istration of the law. What he was really
trying to do was to retard the Govern
ment's destructive policy of perversion OF
the law. 1t was we'll for them that they
were on the right side of the channel. IL
the Christian knowledge Society In seek
ing to promote justice, mercy and truth,
were to publish in Ireland book applying
those prin ciples to that unhappy country,
they would be subject TO criminal prosecu-
ton.
Lord Salisbury talked about the consol.
idation OF the Empire while pursuing 0
policy of national disruption. How, the
speaker asked, could that be policy OF con.
solidation, which disregarded centuries oi
national tradition and opposed the will oil
four out of five millions of Irish people
Ireland only continued within the bounds
of moderation because she knew tnat she
had the sympathy of friends in England
So long as her moderation continued, sc
long would the sympathy be continued
Not long, the speaker said, could any gov
ernment face unanimous people. With
the single exception OF the Belfast Council
all the election authorities sided will
nome rule. The Foreign Import Govern
ment stood alone. The Liberals terms o
minority in Parliament would cease at thl
first election. Their appeal lay with tn,
country. The party had never inscribed
on its banner the name OF cause withou
carrying it through. Having taken III
the cause Of Ireland, the cause would as
suredly triumph. (Cheers.)

Roumanian Commerce.

BUCHAREST, December 27.-The Chamber
OF Deputies has passed bill providing for
the formation of the Roumanian Danube
Navigation Company. A proposal to pur-
chAse the ships with money derived from
the harbor dues revenue was abandoned on
account of the opposition of the powers.
The purchase will be made from funds de-
rived from government loan. In secret
sitting of the Chamber OF Deputies, Mr..
Bratiano, the Prime Minister, alluded to
the serious aspect OF affairs abroad, and
said that it would force him to demand be-
fore the close of the session an extra credit
of $4,000 600 on account of ornaments.
The Senate passed an amendment 10 the re.
cruiting bin under the operation of which
the number of recruits will be largely in
creased In 1883,

ATempsat in a Tea Pot.

GOSHEN, December 27.-[Special. THE
celebrated Defrees shade-tree case, which
has caused no small amount of talk here,
will come up for trial this week. The his
tory of the case is as follows: Last fall the
City Council ordered the sidewalks in the
business portion of the city TO be Widened
considerably. In front Of the old Defrees
property, on the corner OF Market and
Fifth streets, stands g sturdy maple. The
increased width OF the walk placed this
tree right in the middle OF it,while before,
it was ouside.
Now comes the Street Commissions with
his ''little ax" and saw, and proposes to
cut il down. This Mr.. Joseph DefTees very
strongly objected to, and finally command
ed Mr.. Street Commissioner to stay the
proceedings for day or two. Mr.. Defrees
appeared before the Mayors Court and the
Council, but both said that the tree should
90. Printers ink" was freely used on
both sides, but proved fruitless for Defrees.
He then resorted to the Circuit Court, and
was granted an Injunction against the
city foIbidding them to touch
the tree. This was withdrawn last week,
and now the parties to the case will cross
lances before the Judge of the Circuit.
Mr.. Defrees says il he is defeated he will
carry the case to the Supreme Court. he
claims that the city is using him unfairly,
as there are many trees and sign posts
around the city in the same position which
the 'city dads' do not touch, He does
not propose to be the butt of such unjust
prosecution. Much Joking is being in.
dulged in st the expense of both sides,
and no'one knows where it will all end.
The time and money spent on the case, In
proportion to the smallness OF the issue
at stake, reminds one of the two old far
mers who ruined themselves financially
fighting over the skin of fox, which died

Empty Coal Cars.

READING, December 27.-So promptly
were the coal cars taken on to Port Rich.
mond and unloaded that tonight the first
empty coal trains passed through Reading
bound for the coal regions. The most ex-
citing scenes of the strike were witnessed
this afternoon when about twenty-five old
Brotherhood engineers who were obliged
to leave the compsny's employ in 1877
were given engines, .and.pe-manent posi-
tions. They took the places OF engineers
who either failed to report because they
live TOO far away or had refused to take
out engines and were peremptorily dis
charged. Every man who had during the
past week refused to obey orders, or who
had left his post because of the Knights OF
Labor orders, was refused employment.
There were quite large number of these,
and some of the appeals made to get back
were pitiful to behold. Non-union men,
ready to take the strikers places, filed
Reading to day from the neighboring to WINS
by the hundred.

ARREST Drusged and Robbed.

GREENcAsTLE, December 27.-Rev. T. X
Logan, of st. Paul's Catholic Church, this
city, is In hard luck. Sunday evening
after the labors of Christmas, he met with
q party of friends and returned home
about 9 O'Clock, one of his parishioners
accompanying him. The latter insisted
on entering the house, to which the rev
erend gentleman unfortunately assented,
and ii wss then thst he was relieved of his
pocket-book containing Sl66. Father Lo-
gan is positive in the belief that he was
drugged, and equally positive that his par
ishioner, whom he names, took his money.
It was the money of the church, having
been contributed principally in aid of fits
charitable funds, and its loss will be made
good by the priest, even though he does
not succeed in recovering il. This he is fill
able to do, as he is possessed OF very limi-
ted share OF this worlds goods.

A New and threatening Difficulty Arises on
the Reading System.
Possibility That 3 SsriGus Strike viii Take
Place Along the Road.
Trouble Brewing Between the Knights Of
Labor and the Euginssrs.
A Grudge Dating Back to the Strike of
Is77-Empty Coal Cars on Their
Way Back to the Mines-Minor
Notes.

PHILADELPHIA, December 27.-A special
from Reading says: The strike has developed
the existence of unpleasant sentiment be-
tween the Knights of Labor and the Broth
erhood OF Locomotive Engineers, The
latter, ii is reliably stated, offered to furn.
ish all the men that might be needed to
take out trains sThere are 175iengineers in
this city and vicinity, all Brotherhood
men, who were discharged by the former
president of the Reading Railroad, Frank
lin B. Gowen. Their places were taken by
nor-union men, and who belong to the
Knights of Labor, The latter were then
known as "scabs," and for long time
there was bitter feeling In the commun-
ity against them, ana especially as the
riots during the strike OF 1877 in this city
resulted in an attack by the Fourth Regi-
ment, n. G. p, in which about a dozen
men were killed and about seventy-fve or
fered, and their sympathizers, have never
forgiven the men who took the places OF
the Brotherhood engineers. All the en-.
gineers employed on the Reading Railroad,
prior to the trouble OF 1877, are being heard
from. They desire to return to their "6rst
love-" and were anxious for sweet re-
venge,
In an interview with an Inquirer re-
porter tonight knight OF Labor said that
the strike on the Reading road was forced
by the Reading management as part Of an
organized plan of the Pennsylvania, Read
ing and Jersey Central roads to break up
the Knights of Labor. There was great
excitement at the headquarters of the
Executive Committee when the statement
OF President Corbin and the receivers be.
came public. Members of the committee
declared that they had been induced Ia
return to work on false pretenses, and thai
the company had been trying for some
time to precipitate a conflict with the
knights of Labor. Messages were sent to
the different assemblies to convene at once
to consider the matter.

Pannsxlxanta Mine rronhIes.

PITTsBURe, December 27.-W. T. Lewis,
Master Workman of the Miners Assembly
OF the Knights OF Labor, arrived In this
city TO day to inquire into the trouble
among railroad miners in Western Penn
sylvanis. The operators, who are paying
the Columbus scale, state that they will
not pay it after January 1, as a large mum.
Der Of other operators refuse to pay 1t. Mr..
Lewis came on to try and settle the matter
without q strike. The Scotthaven miners
say they viii not come out unless they are
supported by the National Assembly. The
trou BILE among miners Is 30 complicated
now that it is impossible to surmise what
the outcome will be.
